Chesemore, a long time resident of Overton and community, passed away at this home there – Wednesday of last week, following a lingering illness of several years. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon. Interment was in the Overton cemetery. OBITUARY Lee Nathan Chesemore, son of Dighton Chesemore, was born July 17, 1869 in Rock Bridge, Wisconsin, where he lived with his parents until he was 12 years of age, when he had the misfortune of losing his mother. Shortly after this he came to Iowa, where he made his home with an aunt, Mrs. Byron Carpenter, until he was sixteen years of age. He then came west and located in Phelps County, Nebraska, making his home with the Wm. Batie family and worked in the community until he was united in marriage to Miss Thursa Richardson on March 9, 1892. To this union were born five children, one son and four daughters, all of whom survive their father except Leta Dunn, who died November 20, 1931. After their marriage they established their home in Phelps county, where they lived for two years, when they moved nine miles north of Overton. Here they lived until the year 1904. They bought a farm east of Overton, which they developed into a beautiful home. When their work became too heavy for them they decided to move to town and retire from the farm, moving to town in 1925. He resided here until the time of his death which occurred on Wednesday. November 12, 1941, about noon. He reached the age of 79 years, 3 months and 26 days. Mr. Chesemore has, though the greater portion of his life, enjoyed reasonable good health, until a year or so ago, when it developed that his health was beginning to break. He was always hopeful almost to the last, but he made a wonderful fight for life, all in vain. Everything that skilled physicians and nursing could do was done, but the end came peacefully in his sleep as above mentioned. He united with Ideal Lodge No. 270 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Overton in the year 1903, the Rebekah lodge in 1921, and was ever faithful to the principles of the order. He held the Past Grand degree and was treasurer of the local order at the time of his death. Some years ago he confessed his faith in Christ and placed his membership in the Church of Christ of Overton and was a member of the executive board at the time of his death and also a deacon and trustee. His council in the business of the church was very valuable and was much appreciated. Funeral service was held on Saturday afternoon November 15, at 2:30 in the church of which he was a member, conducted by his pastor, who spoke to a very large concourse of neighbors and friends, from the words of Paul in Hebrews 11:15, “But now they desire a better country, that is a heavenly.” He was assisted by Rev. W. H. Stephens, who read the Scripture lesson and offered prayer. The Rebekahs and Odd Fellows were in attendance in a body and the burial service was given by the Order very beautifully. The music was furnished by a mixed quartette, with Mrs. Tracy Mumford at the piano. The pallbearers were from the lodge, with six honorary pallbearers assisting. The floral offering was not only beautiful, but in abundance which was an expression of high esteem in which our dear brother was held. If he had lived until March 9, 1942, he and his good wife would have celebrated their golden wedding. He leaves to mourn his loving companion and wife, one son, Dr. D.L. Chesemore, of Paris, Tennessee; three daughters, Mrs. Ellice McCarney of Overton; Mrs. Elma Pullen of Paxton; Mrs. Doris Hudson, of Rock Springs, Wyo.; ten grandchildren, and two great grandchildren; and one brother, of Janesville, Wisc., besides many other relatives and friends. May the bereaved ones have strength for this sad experience in life, are the wishes of the writer and friends – J. J. Rupert. He is survived by his wife, on son, Dr. D.L. Chesemore, of Paris, Tennesee; three daughters, Mrs. J.E. McCarney, Overton; Mrs. Marvin Pullen, of Paxton; Mrs. Doris Hudson, of Rock Springs, Wyomng; ten grandchildren, two greatgrandchildren and one brother, of Jainesville, Wisconsin.
